As the Progenitor Zombie underwent various changes, Ling Mo’s expression grew increasingly grim. He growled and threw out more Tentacles, but still couldn’t stop the Progenitor Zombie from getting closer.
“Still the sa words-give up, human…” When the Progenitor Zombie’s eyes turned completely blood-red, she suddenly let out a string of piercing, shrill laughter. At the sa ti, Ling Mo was shocked to see the psychic energy outside the Progenitor Zombie’s body suddenly surge, like a wave erupting out of nowhere. In front of it, Ling Mo’s Tentacles seed utterly powerless.
“What the hell is this…” Ling Mo stared wide-eyed at the scene, the Progenitor Zombie’s laughter echoing in his ears. He couldn’t help but retreat, slowly moving up the steps.
“Hahaha… What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Finally, the Progenitor Zombie’s laughter stopped. She stared at Ling Mo, and behind her was that psychic wave that could pounce on him at any mont. “Too bad… it’s already too late.”
As she spoke, Ling Mo’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned and ran upstairs, shouting to Ye Lian and Xia Na above, “Run!”
Bang!
In a silent collision, Ling Mo’s Tentacles were instantly smashed into a shower of light spots by the wave, which then quickly chased after Ling Mo.
Ye Lian and Xia Na heard his shout and couldn’t help but want to turn around. But the desperate entanglent from that Zombie left them with no room to spare.
“Damn it!”
Xia Na suddenly retreated, and Ye Lian imdiately followed up, precisely blocking the Zombie’s swinging claws. Just as he was about to use his psychic power, Ye Lian’s figure suddenly vanished from where she stood. The next mont, Xia Na was charging at him…
The rapid switch between the two figures finally caused a slight flaw in the Zombie’s movents. With a muffled bang, the door to the Rooftop was instantly knocked flying, and Xia Na and the Zombie were sent flying out together. But at the very last mont, the Zombie suddenly reached out and grabbed at Ye Lian.
Ye Lian was about to turn to help Ling Mo, but hadn’t expected this move. By the ti she reacted and tried to dodge, it was already too late. The Zombie’s fingers hooked onto her clothes. The three Zombies crashed together almost simultaneously…
“You can’t escape!”
At this mont, Ling Mo had already dashed madly to a spot not far from the Rooftop door. Seeing Ye Lian, who was reaching out to him, dragged away, Ling Mo froze for a mont. And in that less than a tenth of a second’s hesitation, he was swept up by the wave.
The psychic energy, carrying imnse pressure, crashed fiercely into Ling Mo…
Bang!
With a loud crash, Ling Mo, unable to react, was sent flying like a sheet of paper and landed heavily in front of the door.
Seeing Ling Mo struck, the Progenitor Zombie still maintained that chilling, stiff smile, stepping up from below one step at a ti.
Step… step…
“Cough, cough…” Ling Mo coughed as he struggled to prop himself up. But from his pale face and trembling body, it was clear that blow had dealt him a serious injury.
Listening to the approaching footsteps, Ling Mo grabbed the door fra and, with effort, turned around to lean against it, his eyes fixed on the Progenitor Zombie as he gasped for breath.
“What, you’re not going to scream? Not going to beg?” The Progenitor Zombie looked at Ling Mo with interest, continuing to approach as she asked, “Even if begging is useless, isn’t the obsession with survival a human instinct?”
“That’s rich… What, you think those who commit suicide don’t exist?” Ling Mo coughed twice before replying.
“Suicide? I get what you an… Even with death at your doorstep, you still can’t keep your mouth shut? Well, I don’t mind chatting a bit more before you die… How should I put it, compared to those who would commit suicide, I prefer the kind who, even knowing death is inevitable, still struggle desperately. Their spirit is stronger, and the psychic energy they accumulate is greater. To , a coward isn’t even tasty when served as lunch.” As the Progenitor Zombie spoke, she reached out a hand, and a massive ball of psychic energy slowly gathered in her palm.
“Heh… Spouting nonsense with a straight face…” Ling Mo tried to stand up with the door fra, sneering, “Even if you classify as delicious food, there’s nothing for to be happy about. If you want to eat , co and try…”
“You’re already isolated and helpless. No matter what you say, you can’t change your fate…” The Progenitor Zombie glanced at the Energy Ball in her hand, then suddenly charged at Ling Mo. From her movents, it was clear she intended to smash this sphere directly into Ling Mo’s head… And once struck head-on by this Energy Ball, what awaited Ling Mo was a fate of utter helplessness…
“Don’t worry, it won’t hurt much…” Seeing that she was only a ter away from Ling Mo, and Ling Mo still couldn’t even stand up straight, the Progenitor zombie raised the Energy Ball and gave Ling Mo a faint smile. “Well then, goodbye…”
Pa!
Just as the Energy Ball was about to smash down on Ling Mo’s head, a soft sound suddenly rang out in the silence… Imdiately after, the expression on the Progenitor zombie’s face froze… In the next instant, she abruptly opened her mouth and let out a piercing scream-
“Ah!”
The Energy Ball in her hand vanished instantly, her features twisted all at once, and she shuddered violently. A surge of energy burst from her psychic light cluster, and in the next second, a pitch-black shadow was blasted away from behind her.
The shadow began to turn more and more transparent in midair, then with a boom, it scattered apart. Ling Mo’s face turned pale again, but he couldn’t help but let a smile creep onto his lips. “Hehehe…”
“What did you do to !” The Progenitor zombie steadied herself, looking down at her abdon in disbelief. A pool of fresh blood was slowly soaking through her clothes, growing larger and larger. She suddenly looked up at Ling Mo and said, “You ambushed my body… and I didn’t even notice him…”
“Most of your attention was focused on how to devour , and the rest was concentrated on hypnosis and excitent. How could you possibly notice my spiritual body? Oh, by the way, let introduce it-it’s called Xiao Hei. Although you’ve scattered it now, it won’t disappear.” Ling Mo said.
“I don’t need to know what na you’ve given your spiritual body… Truly unexpected, when you were face-to-face with , you didn’t recall the spiritual body that took away half your energy… And how did you know… about the hypnosis?” The Progenitor zombie pressed her hand to her wound, asking in astonishnt.
“That’s simple… cough, cough…” Ling Mo coughed dryly for a while, but miraculously managed to stand up straight, even patting the dust off his body. “I admit you have strong psychic power, but I don’t believe I’m so weak that you’d kill in one blow. If I really were that weak, this past year would have been for nothing. On the other hand, you’re wary of my companions, and you know you can’t drag this out for long. So, the answer is obvious. You don’t want a drawn-out fight, and the only way to end it quickly is to make think I’ve been killed instantly.”
“So… you turned my own plan against ? You took the risk, let your spiritual body lurk to the side, and when my attention was fully focused, ready to deliver the final blow, you suddenly had it attack my body directly…” The Progenitor zombie said dazedly.
“Yes. If you want to bla soone, bla yourself for being too greedy. If you acted like a common zombie, didn’t talk so much, and just fought, maybe we really would have ended up both badly wounded.” Ling Mo said.
The Progenitor zombie’s abdon was now stained blood-red. She raised her hand to look at her palm, now covered in plasma, and said blankly, “As expected… the human body is still too fragile… A tiny wound can cause this kind of effect…”
“I’m still curious, how did you enter a human body? And that zombie… If I’m not mistaken, he should be your main body? A common zombie’s body couldn’t possibly withstand the combined attack from those two; only a Progenitor could do it…” Ling Mo thought for a mont and asked.
“Hehe…” The Progenitor zombie didn’t answer, but suddenly let out a strange laugh. Then, a crisp “crack” sounded from her head… A bloody, mangled mass suddenly burrowed out from her hair and leapt downward.
“What is that!” Ling Mo was startled, but reflexively chased after it. But just as he passed by the fallen Progenitor zombie, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his pant leg.
The Progenitor zombie… no, now she should be called that woman. She raised her blood-soaked face and shouted at Ling Mo, “Don’t even think about it… As long as it doesn’t die, I can keep living…” She looked in terrible shape; Ling Mo almost wanted to ask, your head’s blown open, how do you plan to keep living?
But in the end, he just gave the woman a cold look and said, “You’re truly pathetic…”
“That’s right, I’m miserable enough already… I didn’t an to hurt you all, I just want to survive, to live better than I do now… I won’t let you kill it!”
While the woman clung to Ling Mo and refused to let go, that thing had already appeared at the corner below.
“Alright… Now I finally know why you got so agitated when you saw … Hey! Take a look over here before you go!” Ling Mo shouted, and seized the mont when the thing paused to hurl a blood-red little object at it.
“Take my master ball!”
